Ushuaia

Ushuaia is located in a wide bay on the southern coast of Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, bounded on the north by the Martial mountain range and on the south by the Beagle Channel. It is frequently regarded as the southernmost city in the world (End of the World) and was once used as a penal colony because of its isolated location. It is now one of the most popular places to visit while in Argentina, and serves as a popular base for Antarctica cruises, winter sports and wildlife viewing. Additional must see highlights include the Tierra del Fuego National Park and Lapataia Bay.
